    Summary

    Lena Luthor’s life revolves around three things: her soul-crushing PhD, the campus gym, and strictly no-strings-attached hook ups. Her previous arrangement with math PhD student Leighton Murray smoothly evolved into a cynical, trauma-bonded roommate friendship, leading Lena to re-download Tinder.

    Then, Kara happens.

    Kara is the devastatingly hot new gym trainer with bright blue eyes, broad shoulders, and a "bi-curious/friends-only" Tinder bio that screams complicated. Lena is determined to keep her head down and lift her weights in peace. But between Jack Spheer's chaotic, life-ruining best friend energy, Leighton’s absolute refusal to let Lena stay locked in a lab, and the persistent smell of jasmine, Lena's strict rules are about to be violently overthrown.

    Or

    The STEM crossover where Lena tries to survive academia, and her best friends conspire to throw her directly into the arms of a golden retriever with a barbell.

    Summary

    Lena left National City nine months ago and never looked back.

    In a quiet Irish village, she’s built a smaller life. Simple. Predictable. Built on routine and the hope that distance might finally be enough. Enough to forget her old life. Enough to forget her.

    Most days, it is.

    Summary

    Lena lets out a careful breath and says, “James and I have decided to end our— association.”

    What a perfectly weird and roundabout way to describe the end of a romantic relationship, Kara thinks. “Oh?” she says, aptly demonstrating her own comparative lack of eloquence.

    It earns her one of Lena’s crinkly smiles at least, affection clear on her best friend’s face. “Should I feel offended that you don’t seem all that surprised?” she flusters.

    “No,” Kara says, “I am,” and she is, is the thing, she's actually stunned, but she’s something else, much more than that.

    She’s elated.

    “Bummer,” Kara says.

    -

    In which Kara makes a tiny new enemy, Alex has an actual functioning gaydar, and Lena breaks up with James only to immediately start seeing someone else. And Kara is fine! Except for the part where she’s really, really not.

    Summary

    “What if… what if we went on a road trip?” Kara says, when the drowning feeling has started to fade. “We could take a couple weeks off and just… get out of the city for a bit. How would that be?”

    Lena looks up from the safety of Kara’s shoulder. “We?”

    .

    With L-Corp in chaos and Lena on the verge of a mental breakdown, Kara proposes an escape: a road trip up the West Coast. The only problem? It's just the two of them and a car on the road for two weeks, and it's getting increasingly difficult for Lena to deny the fact that she's maybe, slightly, desperately in love with her best friend.
